Chapter Thirty-Seven: Breakthrough!

  For the next five days, Yi Chen was recuperating and cultivating, occasionally going out to take a taxi.

  In just five short days, Yi Chen had already made it into the top 10,000, causing quite a stir in the camp.

  "Really or fake, a 15-year-old boy, relying on his own strength, scored one million in just five days?"

  "Absolutely true, and his ranking is still rising. More importantly, he has played 10,000 games without ever losing a single one, and once even won against five opponents at the same time."

  "This is too strong, with such strength, it seems he has a good chance of entering the top ten." The two death row inmates were discussing in low voices.

  "What's with the earth character?" A youth wearing black armor walked by them with heavy footsteps, his eyes flashing with a strange color.

  However, Yi Chen did not linger and left with heavy footsteps, his forehead covered in hot sweat, as if every step he took was under immense pressure.

  "Number 10,000, I challenge you." A figure suddenly emerged from a short distance away, with a cold smile on his face.

  Such a scene, Yi Chen had seen countless times, and didn't say much, directly hooking the challenger's finger.

  "Hmph, arrogant." Seeing Yi Chen's domineering attitude, the challenger's face flashed with anger, and he launched a punch at Yi Chen with his soul power.

  "Hiss." Yi Chen gritted his teeth, as if bearing enormous pressure, and barely dodged to the right, avoiding the challenger's attack.

  "What a slow speed, I don't know how you managed to get into the top ten thousand." Seeing this, the challenger became even more disdainful, turned around and launched a counterattack, striking towards Yi Chen's head with his backhand, shouting: "Ten Thunder Fists!"

  "Get out." At this moment, Yi Chen did not choose to dodge, his right fist clenched and attacked the challenger's head, the speed was so fast that Yi Chen hit him first, one punch sent him flying.

  "Can't take a punch." He withdrew his fist, nodded slightly, and then turned around to leave, still with that heavy expression.

  "How could his speed increase so much?"

  The challenger looked at Yi Chen with a puzzled gaze and said this sentence, after which his vision blurred and he fainted directly.

  "If an ordinary person were to wear the Wujie armor, let alone walk around in it, they would probably be crushed by its weight immediately." Yi Chen said this as soon as he returned to his temporary residence.

  These days, Yi Chen has been wearing Wujie armor, and because he is also wearing a black armor outside, others have not noticed.

  Due to being restricted and with his soul power circulation speed reduced by half, Yi Chen found every challenge extremely difficult to win.

  However, the benefits are also quite obvious. Yi Chen has made tremendous progress in combat skills, and he believes that as long as he takes off his Wujixuan armor, his speed will be incredibly fast.

  Even after returning to his residence, Yi Chen did not remove his armor and directly came to the bed, finding the needle and thread.

  These days Yi Chen has been practicing Three Star Map identification, now it's time to test the results.

  "I hope to successfully appraise this three-star Soul Spirit Stone." Yi Chen said with a hopeful tone, taking out the Soul Spirit Stone from his storage ring that he had obtained from the clan meeting.

  However, he didn't think much of it, his mind slightly moved, a strand of grey soul energy seeped out from his palm, and under Yi Chen's guidance, flowed into the embroidery.

  "Hiss." A faint gray light emanated from the artifact, and Yi Chen began to carefully engrave the pattern.

  With the help of Tian Shu, Yi Chen practiced drawing and painting at an extremely fast speed. Although he couldn't draw perfectly, each stroke had a unique charm.

  The entire process was smooth and natural, with complex patterns quickly appearing on the disk. A faint glow seeped out of the disk, illuminating Yi Chen's face.

  "Hiss." Suddenly, a burst of light shot up into the sky and dispersed in all directions.

  "It actually failed." Yi Chen stopped his actions and looked at the pattern he had drawn, which was now disappearing, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

  The failure rate of drawing talismans was extremely high, and Yi Chen took it for granted, without thinking too much about it, and once again activated his soul power to redraw.

  The entire process was extremely meticulous, with intricate patterns reappearing one by one. The weaving tool in Yi Chen's hand seemed like a needle, while his soul power seemed like thread, linking them together.

  "Hiss." As Yi Chen finished threading the last line, those patterns released a burst of iridescent light, a flow of energy swirled within the patterns, and an attractive force emanated from the center of the diagram.

  "It's done." With a tone of surprise, Yi Chen placed the three-star Soul Spirit Stone in the center position and began to wait.

  Even if the engraving is successful, there will still be a chance of failure during the appraisal process. If it fails, the soul power contained in the Soul Stone will be absorbed, turning it into a waste stone.

  However, this time Yi Chen's luck was good, and the mixed energy in the Soul Spirit Stone was completely absorbed, after which the carved-out diagram finally disappeared.

  The appraisal is complete! Yi Chen was exceptionally excited. These days he had been constantly practicing the Three-Star Chart Appraisal, and now he finally got the result.

  "These days of constant practice and challenges make me feel like I've reached a bottleneck, so why not try to break through now?"

  Yi Chen had already made his preparations, and after taking out the three-star Soul Spirit Stone, he sat down on the bed and began to cultivate the four supreme - Ming Hun Technique taught by Yan Jian.

  A surge of soul power seeped out from within the body, pouring into the Soul Spirit Stone, and then the energy contained inside began to be drawn out, being sucked out.

  That pure soul force reached the extreme, under Yichen's guidance, it poured into his body through the pores, and finally, under Yichen's manipulation, it continuously surged into the beast soul.

  These days, the beast soul has been oppressed by Wuji's armor, and it has long been exhausted to not contain even half a point of soul power. Now, it is like a long drought meeting a sweet rain, continuously absorbing soul power, as if it were an evil spirit.

  The Samseong Soul Stone contains a vast amount of soul power, but Yi Chen's beast soul is like a bottomless pit, absorbing endlessly without stopping.

  About half an hour later, the soul power contained in the Three Star Soul Spirit Stone decreased at a visible rate to the naked eye, and Yi Chen's beast soul also gradually reached saturation.

  "Crack."

  Just as the beast soul's contained soul power reached its limit, a crisp sound came from the dantian, followed by an even more powerful suction force that seeped out from Yi Chen's body.

  "Hiss." Under the guidance of that suction force, the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy surged in from all directions like a tidal wave, being absorbed into Yi Chen's body.

  "Finally promoted to the middle stage of Xinghun Realm!" Yi Chen's face showed extreme joy, while carefully refining his soul power.

  "Crack."

  When the beast soul reached its limit again, Yi Chen was about to regain his senses from his cultivation state when the beast soul transmitted another crisp sound. As if it had broken through some kind of restraint, an even more powerful suction force seeped out.

  "Really?" Yi Chen seemed to have guessed something, his face lit up with even more joy, and his hands trembled with excitement.
